What happened to the electric and/or Smart car that you were talking up last week?

It is in SoCal.

This car is almost as fun to drive as the Track-T.

Too cool! Now if I had an extra 60 grand laying around, one of those would be in my garage, if nothing else to cheese my diehard Chevy pals. There will be a few of them wrecked, you can count on that, drive-train and parts in an older car would be a blast.

That would be a sweet transplant in older Ford. I'd like to see one in a '66 / '67 Fairlane. That car has gorgeous lines.

Oh I agree. Sixty grand plus the insurance puts it well into the luxury car range. A very high performance bargain, no doubt, but its definitely out of range for a lot of us. But still, its kind of nice to be able to live during the modern day horse-power wars. I imagine folks back in the 60's and early 70's drooled over the originals the same way I do now over the day modern-day versions.

I could make room for one in my garage but it would have to be something besides blue.

One major problem though. The family "banker" said, "Fit in the garage, h@#$, it wont fit in the budget"

These cars are great, but can you imagine the insurance premiums on that monster.
